It might, but it wouldn't be very immersive. If the only option I had was iPhone or PC/console I'd go PC/console, otherwise iPad.

Why are you guys not talking about or playing Letterpress
I don't know if you did it this time, but there is a proper solution to that part hinted in the dialogue that doesn't involve messing with the clock (
there is a hidden cave where you can change the phase of the moon
I'm not a fan of word games but everyone else was jizzing over it a few pages back.

Congratulations, you really deserve it!
Word games feel too much like learning. This aint school, bro.

Doing that is horrible though, easily the worst part of the game. Ridiculous to walk all the way back to the cave and do that boring fight every time, especially if you don't immediately realize that you need a full and new moon and experiment with other phases. Much, much easier to just change the settings.

DoDonPachi MAXIMUM looks interesting.
For someone who doesn't have any Cave shooters for iPhone would this be the one to grab?
And while we are on the subject...
Espgulda II HD, Espgulda II Arcade Version, Espgulda II HD Arcade Version, Espgulda II Smartphone, Espgulda II HD Smartphone.
My brain hurts trying to figure out what version to even think about purchasing. Can someone break this down?

OP.
I've tried that, and I never got added to the OP.
If you have an iPhone 4 then the HD versions might be pretty choppy, but on other newer hardware (with the A5 chip basically) they'll run fine and look nice. Edit-DDPMAX actually runs pretty well on iPhone 4!
The "arcade" versions are just that, a port of the arcade version, while the "smartphone" ones are tweaked with a touch control specific gimmick. I don't care for them (in Esp.II and DDP:R) and just bought the arcade versions, but there are others that prefer them. The one without arcade/smartphone suffix have both modes. There's demos for it all I think so just try them out.
As for DDPMAX, I think it might be the one to get at least as a starter. It's tweaked a bit from the standard formula to be more phone gaming friendly, like it's separated level by level rather than a single run through all 5 in the usual games so you can sort of start/stop whenever. The only caveat with it I think might be the art style, I kind of like it (particularly after seeing all the little details in motion) but it's not for everyone. If nothing else I think enemies could stand to have more definition.
Re: Espgaluda, I think both Arcade and Smartphone versions are great, but I bought the game when everything came together for about $5. Scoring in smartphone mode is much easier to grasp, so I think it's a good way to get your feet wet. Arcade scoring is much deeper though (and more fun to pull off once you get the hang of it), but I almost wish I had a controller because turning shot on and off with touch is kind of a hassle when you're dodging so many bullets.
I guess I'd say buy both if you can. Standard looks fine on my phone, but if you've got an iPad I'd probably get HD.

I just looked at the list in the OP and started sending out requests. GameCenter now gives suggestions for friends (I think it's an iOS 6 thing) so once you have a handful of GAFfers it'll start suggesting others.
In Denmark they raised the prices from 6kr to 7kr per dollar. I think the actual exchange rate is 1$ = 5,76kr, so we were already paying more before the raise. The sad thing is it probably won't go down again.
It has to be said that in Google Play a dollar is between 6-7kr from what little I've seen, where as Microsoft has long held that it's 7kr in Windows Phone Marketplace.

Dodonpachi Maximum is super disappointing. The gameplay is as solid as ever but fuck if the art style isn't completely underwhelming. It starts boring to look at at 6 stages later nothing has changed. This is probably a game for the pure danmaku enthusiasts. For people like me who love the other Cave iOS offerings but are at the level where we can't really tell the difference between Mushihimesama Futari and Black Label, this is probably one to avoid
I got this score with the most expensive loadout in each category, but was able to get around 125k several times with cheaper stuff that focuses on damage.
The key is not to mash and focus on holding a combo as long as possible. Work slowly enough to let enemies stack behind each other so you always have something to hit. Learn to uppercut and slam air enemies downward when there isn't much action on screen, keeping them tumbling in front of you. This way you can punch them forward into oncoming enemies to keep your chain going.
lol I haven't edited my dude yet but now I wanna make Bob Sapp.
That's because Dash is... uh...... well... Good Question. Noone really knows. He's... somewhere. On that same note, where's Flunkie, I haven't seen him around... or maybe he's changed his avatar and I've just not noticed him. Those 2 were the ones taking care of the spreadsheet.
EDIT: Yeah, Dash hasn't posted in 2 months. Flunkie should still be around though, and from what I remember he can access the spreadsheet too. Try contacting him to get added!

The controls aren't great and hopefully they'll be patched, but with a physical control attachment it's bloody great!
I have one of these:

Better download fast guys. One Piece? Doraemon? Yeah, like they have a licence for that. This is going to be taken down. Surprised as iTunes shows it being available since the beginning of October.

It runs fine. It struggles a bit now and then, but so do all the versions.
Not the ideal way to play it, but if it is your only choice it will do just fine. The main issue is ios is only up to episode 3, so you might be waiting a fair bit to finish the story.
Meanwhile my four year old daughter just came into the room.

Bop Sapp should mean that when you die / lose you get extra cash.

Oh shit. I'm actually in the middle of downloading the game. Ah well. I've bought and thoroughly enjoyed every Cave iOS game so far with the exception of their original game, Bug Panic.
With DDP Maximum at least I've bought it at sale price. It'll be interesting to see how it runs on iPhone 5.

The purists will beat me to death, but for me, the Cave shooter to get without question is DeathSmiles.

Only for you euros, lol
Me too I noticed... Still a small upgrad but nonetheless... Hope this is not going to happen like on a yearly basis. Probably results of strong $, I doubht anyway that in case in the future will become stronger we'll see a reduction...
Any other increase in other currencies?

Borderlands to have no IAP... didn't think bigger game spin-offs still did this (also, releases next week)!
Also said to be realtime not turn-based like XCOM. Oh well. There's still hope that maybe Frontline Tactics fills a little of those shoes.

Sim City is playable. I really enjoyed that, but it feels more fit for my iPad vs iPhone sized screen.
